Everyone quickly took up their swords and set off, rushing from southern Xinjiang to the southern foot of Taihang Mountain.
Along the way, Wei Dongliu made careful calculations again.
Today, this personal intelligence network is mainly divided into two lines: upper and lower.
The lower level is the two disciples Guo Jin and Wang Yuan. After they grow up slowly, they are allowed to travel around to search for information about the hell realm.
The advantage of this line is that it is easy for apprentices to use it, but the disadvantage is that it takes time to train apprentices.
It takes about fifty years for a monk with ordinary talent to enter the Huafu level after entering the monastic realm. With the qualifications of these two disciples, Wei Dongliu felt that he might have to play more.
Probably 70 or 80 years, don't worry yet.
The upper line is Wei Dongliu himself, who, through Jiang Lixuan, Wen Yang, Gu Lie, and Long Xiaoqi, obtains information from the Heavenly Demon Path, the Yin Ghost Path, the Shura Path, and the Donghuang Path respectively.
The advantage is that the cycle is short, and Wei Dongliu himself starts as a Huafu-level monk; the disadvantage is that he needs to maintain his personality and cannot ask questions casually.
Of course, as a qualified spy, you will not be so narrow-minded as to only follow one line.
I want them all!
Apart from the situation on Wei Dongliu's side, Luo Yan's side is more worrying.
According to the current timeline progress, Wei Dongliu's progress is several days ahead of Luo Yan's.
In other words, as long as you load the game and jump to Luo Yan's side, you will soon encounter the event of "one hundred thousand gods and demons attacking Penglai".
According to what Jiang Lixun and others said, Penglai Yuqing Temple had been breached, and even the mountain-protecting formation was gone. It was a complete defeat.
However, the specific details of Tiangongfang were not mentioned in detail.
According to Ah Jing, he couldn't take the initiative to ask, otherwise what if someone said, "Everyone in Tiangongfang was wiped out" or "A man named Luo Yan died miserably"?
Therefore, although his mind was spinning, he did not ask directly.
After all, Jiang Lixun and others were not in the expedition team. They only got some second-hand information from hearsay, so they did not talk much about this topic, but quickly moved on to other aspects.
"I heard that this time on the battlefield in the north, because there were no high-level monks to show up, the people in Shushan were already killing like crazy." Wen Yang casually said, "The one who was killing the most was the Grass-cutting Sword Immortal."
"The Grass-cutting Sword Immortal An Zhisu?" Jiang Lizhen said curiously, "I heard that that person is also a killer in Shushan. She may have killed more of her fellow sects than the monks of the rival sects.
"
"After all, Shushan is a nepotistic Sanqing, which is different from our rules." Wen Yang sneered contemptuously, "No matter how strong you are, it is useless without enough connections. Therefore, there was no grass-cutting swordsman in the southern expedition in previous years.
I’m participating. I just don’t know why she was asked to come this time.”
(Nepotism is a scornful name for the Orthodox Three Purities. It satirizes the elite disciples of Kunlun, Shushan and Penglai. Most of them are occupied by cultivating families, and they have essentially begun to become clans.)
"An Zhisu's father is Su Jian, the master of Qingluo Peak." Gu Lie also added, "This man is also a great killer, and it is said that he is also a direct disciple of the Supreme Elder Chang Mei Immortal of Shu Mountain.
"
"Later, Su Jian was seriously injured in an ambush by several elders from my sect. After returning to the camp, he began to live in isolation. Qingluo Peak has been in decline ever since."
"This is strange." Jiang Lixun narrowed his eyes and smiled, "The orthodoxy of the direct disciple has declined, so why does the Supreme Elder not care about it?"
"Who knows." Wen Yang waved his hand indifferently, "It's probably just those scheming things."
Jiang Lizhen raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing it.
No matter how many intrigues and intrigues there are, it won't affect the Supreme Elder.
His status, to put it bluntly, is that if he sneezes, all the peaks of Shu Mountain will tremble... The Grass-cutting Sword Immortal kills his fellow sects indiscriminately, and is not reused in the sect. It is obvious that this is the reason why the founder does not care.
"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Wei?" She tilted her head with a smile and asked Wei Dongliu again.
"Maybe it's a dispute over the route." Wei Dongliu said casually.
"Route dispute?" Jiang Witch blinked.
"Hey, I know this well." Gu Lie suddenly interrupted and said, "Take our Shura Dao as an example. There are people in the sect who specialize in fighting, and there are also people who devote themselves to Buddhism. Both sides dislike each other."
"Does Fellow Taoist Gu belong to the fighting method or Buddhism?" Witch Jiang asked with a smile.
"I'm naturally a martial artist." Gu Lie said without thinking.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Everyone suddenly remembered that in the Mirror Lake Shrine, Gu Lie's reflection in the mirror had an angry face, but a compassionate heart... In other words, on the surface, he was thirsty for blood fighting, but in fact he longed for Buddhism?
"Ahem!" Gu Lie also realized something was wrong and explained, "My father is a highly qualified monk in the temple. He is proficient in Tantric Buddhist theory and even received a degree from Arampa Geshe."
"Aranbag Geshe?" Jiang Lizhen asked curiously.
"The title of a monk requires long-term hard study of Buddhism in a tantric academy." Gu Lie sighed, "I have been taught many classics by him since I was a child, and I was originally meant to inherit his mantle."
"It's just that when I was fourteen years old, he died because of a failed battle with his enemy. His soul was so distraught that he didn't even have the chance to enter reincarnation."
"From that day on, I knew that no matter how profound your Buddhist teachings were, what's the use?" The old monk sighed, raised one palm, and muttered "Amitabha" after many years, "If you can't defeat the enemy in a battle of Dharma, can you?
Because you have a profound foundation in Buddhism, the Buddha will send King Ming to save you?"
"Fellow Taoist Gu's words have Buddha nature!" Wen Yang smiled while stroking his hands, "As long as you are good at fighting, what's the problem if you don't understand Buddhism?"
Gu Lie waved his hands in disinterest, indicating that he did not want to say more.
"Fellow Daoist Gu actually comes from a family of eminent monks." Witch Jiang also said with a smile, "I also know that Xiaoqi was herding cattle in southern Xinjiang before joining Taoism. Where is Daoist Wen?"
"It's just an ordinary well-to-do family." Wen Yang said briefly and comprehensively.
The so-called well-off families are probably landlords... Wei Dongliu was watching coldly when he saw Witch Jiang turn the topic to herself again:
"Fellow Daoist Wei was a casual cultivator before joining the Mortal Life Path. He probably didn't come from a big cultivating family. But judging from his conversation and temperament, he didn't come from a small family, right?"
"I am an overseas person." Wei Dongliu said mysteriously.
"Overseas?" Now everyone was wondering, "South China Sea or East China Sea?"
Do you believe that I traveled through the sea of time?
Wei Dongliu said perfunctorily:
“The South China Sea and the East China Sea are connected, but I don’t know the exact location. It was only by mistake that I ended up in China.”
"That's it." Seeing that he didn't want to mention it anymore, everyone stopped asking questions and only heard Wen Yang laughing again:
"I've been asking for a long time, but Fellow Daoist Jiang himself hasn't said anything yet!"
"Me?" Jiang Lizhen smiled crookedly, "My secular parents are fishermen who fish overseas. They live in Xiyu Township, Penghu Island. But not long after I was born, I was picked up by my master and brought into my family."
"Huh?" She suddenly thought of something, clapped her hands and said with a smile, "In this way, like fellow Taoist Wei, I can be considered an overseas person! Does this count as a fellow countryman?"
Everyone was speechless when they heard this. We both wrote the book and went abroad together, so we are fellow countrymen, right?
